Description
- Willem Romeyn
- An Italianate wooded landscape with a harnessed donkey, a cow, a sheep and ducks near a pond in the foreground
- oil on canvas
Condition
The actual painting is darker than the catalogue illustration suggests.
The canvas has a stable relining (wax). Stretcher marks are slightly visible to the front. The paint surface is under a very dirty and uneven layer of varnish, and its removal would improve the tonality of the painting. Some small retouchings are visible in the foliage upper left, in the rocks centre right, and in the tree trunk. Inspection under Ultra-Violet light, furthermore, reveals minor strengthening in the foliage lower centre, and a few tiny recent retouchings in the lower foreground, and in background above the donkey. Overall, in good restorable condition.
Offered in a faux tortoise shell frame, in good condition. (MW)
